Abstract:

Lishi loess is an important component of loess slope. To explore the structure and strength change characteristics of Lishi loess caused by shock (vibration) action, and to reveal the mechanism of loess slope catastrophe, the dynamic triaxial test was performed by using equivalent sine wave under strain controlling. The results show that:① There is an obvious stress relaxation phenomenon during the same cyclic loading test, the degree decreases with the increasing of dynamic strain and confining pressure. And the influence of dynamic strain variation on stress relaxation degree is less under high confining pressure than under low confining pressure;② Under a confining pressure of 40kPa, within 1% strain ranges, the needed dynamic stress to reach the specified strain is just 0.01kN, and the peak stress decreases with the augmentation of dynamic strain, when peak stress increases to 0.204kN, the sample is destructed; Under a confining pressure of 90kPa, soil radial particles are closely spaced, within 2% strain ranges also only a dynamic stress of 0.01kN is needed to reach the specified strain, and with the increase of dynamic strain, the samples are destructed when dynamic strain increases to 0.267kN. The dynamic failure stress of Lishi loess increases gradually with the increase of confining pressure, and the linear regression equation is бd=0.0011б3+0.1590, the correlation coefficient is 0.9944. ③According to Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, the strength parameters of Lishi loess in somewhere of the north of shaanxi are C=30.33kPa,φ=14°. Under the dynamic shearing action, the dynamic effective strength parameters are obviously less than static effective strength parameters, this indicates that the soil consolidation effect reduced and the particles displaced and occluded each other.
